I just think the motivation factor for Rory can't be very high after playing three big tournaments like that and winning. I think he'll ramp it back up the last two Fed Ex events and The Ryder Cup.

I read on espn.com that Rory "hung out in NY for a few days after the PGA, then returned to Europe . .hung out there for a bit . .then went to the Manchester United opener on Saturday, flew to the US on Sunday, had corporate obligations with Nike on Monday . .and then went to The Barclays.

I'm older than Rory but that just sounds ridiculous.  I travel for work and just spending 4 days away from home and the travel back and forth pretty much wipes me out on the weekends.  If I tried to do what Rory did, I'd arrive at The Barclays in severe need of about a week-long nap, lol.

Played there in June and attended the Barclay's the last time it was at Ridgewood and was going to go again this week, but decided to go downashore tomorrow for a long weekend. Great spot to watch golf. I highly recommend it if anybody is thinking of going.

I'm guessing he doesn't have to do things most of us have to. Buy tickets, arrange for transport to airport, the whole plane loading process since he's doing the private jet thing. That's way easier. Plus he's got more room in the plane. And that's just flying. Money makes a lot of things way easier. And he's running on the adrenaline of winning and probably the energy of well wishers. OTOH, it is tiring but a guy in his 20s, should be no problem.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Not if you got paid as much money as he did for all of that lol...I'd somehow find that extra energy

Anyone else having issues with the PGAtour app?

Edit: Just as I typed that it started working

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

If you didn't know not to hit from the wrong green....well soon you'll know. ;-)

So now what if a players' shot lands in a spot between the hole and divot on the green?

You'd think the player or at least the caddie would know about that rule.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rory had a lesser tournament this week. He hasn't had much rest and time to focus on golf since his last win.

It's just the first playoff tournament, he can have a week off and come back stronger later on.

I bet they get it repaired pretty decently....

    • Day 292: light day today. Mirror work, working on getting my hips more open in the downswing.
    • Day 135 (27 Apr 24) - played Bradford Creek today while waiting for the missus fly in from her extended visit with the grands.  Good day to stay focused as it was a hurry up (groups pressing from behind) and wait (groups taking their time ahead)…a good day to stay mentally in the game - play the shot and not get frustrated in the waiting…
    • Day 122: 4/27/24 Supposed to be a Stack training day but I was beat after yard work today. Practiced chipping and putting at The Creek. The practice green is pretty slow but the session went well. 
    • Went to the range today and was cursing myself when I got there as I realized I forgot my phone. I added an earlier wrist hinge to the short backswing I was using last time practicing and ball strikes were really good for the most part. I'm heading back to Boston Thursday to see friends and family and have a couple of rounds planned so I'm hoping to keep this feeling.  Yesterday morning I weighed in at 232. My goal had been 230 but maybe now it's 220. I'll have to think about that. I feel so much better without the extra 90 lbs. from 2 years ago. Still a softl slightly less protruding belly so it might be time to go hard on eating better. Work in progress. 
    • Day 7- Went to the range and hit a bucket. Also did some chipping and putting.
